printf() considered garbage

Why not just use puts()? Is formatting your own strings properly really so hard? Maybe if you went to a school with a name that ended in `.com'. If that's the case, enjoy your security holes when you fuck up and put an %n somewhere or do something stupid like printf(str) and loosing buffer overflows all over the place. Not only that, but it's inefficient and bloated. I am sick and tired of seeing new programmers wasting CPU time and memory to run this huge, buggy function.

In general, it's never a bad idea to use something simpler if available.
